Ah, good old Thrasher. I got mine to stand by sticking Blu-Tack in one of its thigh joints to hold it in place, and placing a small rock (containing a trilobite fossil! Not that that's relevant) underneath one of its feet.

I paid about $70-80 for each brachi, coming out to roughly $100 shipped. Send me a note to pams@mailowl.net, so I will remember you if I decide to sell the extra.
Recent additions to my sauropod herd: Schleich Brachiosaurus, Carnegie Camarasaurus and Carnegie Amargasaurus.
You take the most amazing pics! I can see every single detail clearly.
And some really nice hauls folks. Sounds like some of the finds were long sought after favorites. Congrats! Ikessauro, that huge Thrasher Rex and little WwD Leaelly, with their tans, browns and splashes of green, have similar in colorings. Never noticed that before.

Two new models from Shapeways by razh00: Hyneria and Vancleavea.
Since the video “Walking with Monsters,” we have had a long wait to get a model of Hyneria, the terror of the Devonian floodplains. It is an osteolepiform, like Eusthenopteron, but not as close to the tetrapod lineage. Credit for this suggestion goes to sbell.
Vancleavea should win a prize for weirdest archosauriform. If it turns out that turtles evolved from archosaur ancestry, Vancleavea could share some of their genes. Dinosaurs are more distantly related. To read a description, link to Darren Naish’s Tetrapod Zoology: http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2009/11/vancleavea_2009.php

Nice work on those two models, especially the Hyneria. You must be in heaven with all these new models. I should get those sometime, although I did take advantage of Shapeway's Cyber Monday special deal, and did get a couple of Razh's models, among others.

Just won/bought 4 AAA's: small Coelodonta, small Mammoth, small Hyaenodon and small Entelodont. Those first two for small prices on eBay (maybe because they are not really beautiful, but they will go fine with my other AAA's), those last two at DINOTIME.de (because the prices on eBay are always unreasonably high). At last my prehistoric mammal collection is starting to take shape. Pictures to follow soon

Ohhh, very nice models and wonderfully painted. Wow, I want them even more now. They are on my list to order... soon I hope
You should post them on the ShapeWay thread too for reference.

I got this Toys R Us exclusive Rebbachisaurus for $10 only:
I bought it because I instantly fell in love with it, and because I do not have a Rebbachisaurus in my dinosaur collection. As you can see, it's in a good scale with the rest of my JP collection. That's how big the average Rebbachisaur got (Limayisaurus, Nigersaurus were bus length) so I thought it worked perfectly. It's made out of soft polyester material, much like soft JP dinosaurs, or those cool dinosaurs you can buy at DisneyWorld.
Which reminds me, where is GOMOSO? I haven't seen him in years I will have to get that out of the boxes at some point. He's been trapped in there for 4 years! POOR GOMOSO!!

It's the tag, and it looks like one. I would have made its legs skinnier and made it's spine look a bit higher, but it's good enough. Its tummy has a tampographed 'Rebbachisaurus' and more, which I'll need to decipher using a loupe.
